Well maybe if you didn't fucking endorse him in the first place, this would not have happened.

As a former bernie supporter whot took the Red Pill,
God I'd love to see this happen
Me too!
I understand that a number of the red pilled has come from the ranks of the Bernie Bros. I'm curious as to why. Did they realize what socialism really is, or were they looking for the non-establisment route and realized that populism/libertarianism/conservatism is the real non-establishment?
I suspect they were just populists, and realized right-wing populism is better than left-wing populism.
That's me.
Yes. I would think the groupism/tribalism espoused by the left would be hard to reconcile with true populism, which seems to focus on the individual.
Right, but I think that makes some assumptions about their psychology that isn't true for all of the left-wing populists.
They clearly have a herd mentality, but, I would wager that many of them think of themselves as "free thinkers", "critical thinkers", or whatever. Their intentions are often good (they genuinely think they are right and helping progress society), they are just deeply misguided (i.e., believing that socialism is good), and they often falling into the trap of de-humanzing people + proceeding to dox them.
So, once they see that right-wing populism does achieve good, say, through the accomplishments of Trump as president, they begin to question their beliefs. That's all it takes. Alternatively, fake news might turn some of them too. It'd be worth asking some former Bernie-bros (and now pro-Trumpers) about it.
An example of a Bernie-pro turned Trumpster is journalist/YouTuber H. Goodman (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDB5XReUyyqt-FTNdkzFN-A ). I haven't watched too much of his content, but, there might be something in there about why he converted.
Alot of Bernie bros got redpilled when the Dems fixed their primaries for Hillary. They started coming on to the Donald around that time looking for common ground. TPP was something specifically that Bernie Bros and MAGA were opposed too at the time, alot of them redpilled themselves.
They simply may notice who is real establishment. You know - being "socialist" and cooperating with harcore warmongers, and corpo-boys like Bezos or Gates gives them a good questions to consider because of big cognitive dissonance... They don't even need to learn how communism is evil to step against ellites. After all the question is they feel marginalized by the corporate-political elites and that's why they support/supported socialism which they thought is against elites. After they learn they were used,fucked up by those they really hate,after being BETRAYED what do you think they feel and believe you think ? Abandoned girlfriend scenario :)
There are 2 kinds of socialists really:
Ok 2 groups but sometimes it is mixed - but one of those attitudes would dominate.
i think you nailed it funny I was all about bernie, but bernie was part of the process i think. We all knew something fucky was going on and TBH bernie seemed more genuine and i think that's the truth. I'd say both bernie and trump are populism, but Trump is just doing it the correct way. Well, if we get rid of 90% of the federal government and the banks that is.
Welcome to the fold. I participated in the Tea Party movement in 2009-2012. Concurrently, there was the left leaning Occupy movement. Both groups actually agreed on "End/audit/constrain the Fed". Amazingly, with both sides in agreement on this, nothing has happened toward this end in that decade, until apparently Trump took some steps. To me, this lends credence to Q theory of a gigantic banking Cabal working to take over the world.
I think that it's because Bernie hijacked the anti establishment voters and turned them forward socialism. That's the same thing the occupy wall st. movement did. They took people's hate for corruption and blamed it on capitalism. You were just a libertarian all along!
